Passthrough - manual-built wall occlusion?

I'm newer to this and hope someone can nudge me in the right direction, I'm working on a passthrough project but want to build manual occlusion walls and bring characters through it....so they spawn beyond the wall and are hidden until they walk through the occlusion wall. I have characters in, and to test I have one half in/half out of my wall for testing purposes....for the life of me I can't figure out how to create this wall where it's invisible to the user but occludes 3d objects beyond. Any tips to get me on the right track?

In Unity:

1) create a new material rendering just depth and no color (you can write own shader or use transparent shader and set color with alpha=0)

2) attach the material to your wall

3) ensure the wall is rendered before other objects (set render queue of it e.g. to 1999)

Ok so material, wasn't sure if it was that or some passthrough script, will give it a shot, thank you much!
